That's a lot of #3s!!! I saw a MP post that said you need three #3s -- what a runout that would be!!! Nice climbing, I appreciate that you didn't edit out your rest -- looks strenuous (but beautiful)!
I got spanked pretty hard in Indian creek. On my first trip I just followed the whole time and the second trip I was the one putting up the ropes. I didn't realize how uncomfortable I get when I'm pumped and have to climb above my gear 😅
Beautiful route. Do you think the 10c rating is from the opening moves to gain the crack? Or how sustained the climbing looks? Or is the real crux finding that many #3s?
If you know what your doing. Have decent crack experience. The upper crack itself could be labeled 5.9. But the lower crux is for sure awkward and harder than the rest of the route... I do believe it earns the 10c rating and it 100% a gate keeper to the splitter above.
@@Brox_Rocksthank you for the response. I have been trad climbing for a while and recently looking to get into the .10 range. But that does sure look like an awkward 10c gatekeeper. The splitter itself looks perfect which is why I was asking about the rating.
@@makaicreative yeah man. Get after it. Just take your time and look for some gear to protect the move. Or find someone who's got a rope on the route already and ask for a quick TR
@@Brox_Rocks Nice! I do remember my first time up Supercrack, the start was the crux for me. It seems so often as soon as the climbing gets awkward the protection is harder to find or place. Years later I learned how to use my feet in wide cracks and that section became so much easier. These days I don't place any gear until I am in the hands splitter but you don't want to blow it. What a great climb!

Lol. Yeah I always bring extra. Some people are crushers. I like to play it safe. Thanks for the Lind words!
😮 that roof looks incredibly fun!!!!! Great crack climbing, id definitely need a take in the middle of the pich. But looks like bomber jambing
Thanks! It's a world class route. Get after it!!
These vids are so valuable to me for stepping into trad climbing. Thx!
Hell yeah! Thanks for sharing this. Really appreciate it.
Nice lead man! Great footage. Getting me psyched to go to the desert

would be awesome to see the view from the top of the route instead of just ending the video!!!
Is this the perfect crack?
Seems like some thrashing before the ledge was edited out??
Sure did. Got under the bulge and came back down to reaccess. Committed to getting my feet up and found gear .

@@metork So true and at times scary.
Isn’t super crack 10a?
Mt Project says the bottom first pitch crux is "maybe 10c"
@@Brox_Rocks Fair enough, I remember it being tricky! Nice job
5.10a back when I did it and not a particularly difficult one.
